The Crazy Story of Daily Driven Exotics | Damon Fryer on Bad Cops & Supercars

About this video

Martell interviews Damon from DDE (Daily Driven Exotics), the channel Martell says inspired him to daily-drive his first McLaren. Damon recounts buying a manual LP Murcielago in Florida for $285,000, a car he says is now worth a million, then having a garage test-drive it after gearbox synchro work — it popped out of first gear for him, and on the test drive it went sideways on a sandy/salty winter road, hit a light pole and a fire hydrant, and was not a total loss; he later sold the wrecked car to a friend to rebuild. On police stops, Damon says supercar drivers are 100% more likely to be pulled over, estimates he has been pulled over 60 to 70 times, and argues officers must catch you in the act with evidence; if he was caught he takes the ticket quietly without admitting speeding, and if he believes he was not speeding he asks calm questions about radar and evidence and films the interaction. He discusses driving Koenigsegg models including the Jesko, Ferrari’s brand-protection cease-and-desist actions, and why he considers modern cars like the Huracan daily-drivable and reliable. He warns first-time supercar buyers to test-drive many cars, buy within budget and research maintenance, citing his claims that a Bugatti Veyron tire change costs $55,000 USD and an oil change about $25,000. On rallies, he says the upcoming Gumball in Southeast Asia has an entry fee of about $100,000 USD and that he and Dave will be in for about $175,000 USD all-in, so beginners should start with smaller North American rallies, and he advocates sharing supercars with the public rather than hiding them.

Key takeaways

• Damon says he bought his manual LP Murcielago for $285,000 and that it is now worth a million, before a garage test drive crashed it into a light pole and fire hydrant after gearbox work
• Damon estimates 60 to 70 police pullovers and advises staying calm, not admitting speeding, asking for evidence/radar details when you believe you were not speeding, and filming interactions
• Test-drive many supercars before buying, buy your favorite color within budget, and research maintenance first — Damon cites Veyron tires at $55,000 USD and oil changes at about $25,000 as a warning example
• Damon contrasts older supercars, where accessories and maintenance are the risk, with modern models like the Huracan, which he calls daily-drivable and bulletproof
• Start rallies small in North America before events like Gumball, which Damon says costs about $100,000 USD entry and about $175,000 USD all-in for him and Dave
